Your health history and an examination may have caused your 1st consultant some concern, but switching to smaller implants and a breast lift is a common procedure

How many areas of liposuction can be treated at one time? I was wondering if you could have 10 areas of liposuction done in one week, like separate them into 5 each day, wait a day, and then have the other 5 on day 3? I am 5'4" and 150lbs, the largest area that would be removed is my butt. The rest…

The operation you describe could be done as a single procedure, but would carry increased risk of significant complication due to the large surface area of your body that would be injured. Many authorities rely on volume of aspirate to decide on the risk of liposuction, but more likely it is Body Surface Area that best indicates the magnitude and thus risk of liposuction (as is the case with burn injury). Operating on multiple areas increases the area of injury regardless of whether just small amounts of fat are removed, so you will need special precautions and overnight stay in hospital to optimize safety. At consultation, your plastic surgeon may well determine that the multiple areas you site do not require treatment or the procedure is best done in two steps months apart.

Rhinoplasty can involve any of about 30 different steps depending on the nature of your problem and the preferences of your surgeon. Some will require a couple of days to recover, some over 6 weeks. You need to discuss these questions with your surgeon who knows the particulars of your planned procedure.

I had a tummy tuck 3 months ago. My belly was pretty flat for the first 6 weeks while I was wearing the compression garment. Once I stop wearing the garment, I started noticing a bulge above the belly bottom, which has progressively increased. It looks like a deformity now and is pretty big. My…

Assuming you had fascial plication to correct diastasis rectus deformity (translation: your muscles were stitched together to flatten your belly), a recurrence of the deformity can arise late after surgery if your fascia is not strong. By 6 weeks, the wound healing should be strong enough that it would not rely on suture strength to hold things together. Unfortunately, some people have very thin or weak fascia, and the tightened fascia can tear or stretch causing a bulge to occur. Abdominal obesity will also make this problem more likely to occur. If your plastic surgeon confirms this indeed has occurred, you should ask whether a revision using mesh to reinforce the fascia is a good option for you.
